The authorities continue to investigate the alleged murder of Mustafa Amir, uncovering a significant drug cartel operating in Karachi’s elite areas. The arrests of prime suspect Armaghan Qureshi and Sahir Hasan, son of actor Sajid Hasan, have severely impacted the city’s high-end drug trade. Tied initially to Mustafa’s January 6 disappearance, this case shifted dramatically when Armaghan opened fire on AVCC during a February 8 raid.
Investigators have found links to drug trafficking, fraud and money laundering. The crackdown has led to a near-total halt in Karachi’s weed supply, causing major financial losses for dealers. CIA DIG Muqaddas Haider stated, “You won’t find weed being sold anywhere now. The suppliers have disappeared and the supply has almost completely stopped.”

Karachi’s weed market was controlled by three individuals, with two now dead and one in police custody. Drugs were reportedly bought and sold through the dark web and social media, with some courier companies allegedly involved in deliveries. Investigators are now searching for Bazil who could reveal crucial information about the role of courier companies in drug distribution.
During interrogation, Sahir Hasan admitted that he deposited 75% of his drug sale into an account managed by his father’s manager. Police have started investigating these transactions and may formally include the manager and Sajid Hasan if they find evidence. Authorities are proceeding cautiously, ensuring they make arrests only with solid proof. “We won’t engage in any wrongful tactics just to showcase our performance,” a senior officer stated, emphasising the need for a strong case.
